Getting Started
This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect
the power supply.
Before Installation
General
• Be sure your hands are dry.
• Turn the power off to all components.
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between 23˚ and 95˚ F
(–5˚ and 35˚ C).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause
overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the
receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Connecting the FM and AM Antennas
FM Antenna Connections
Notes :
•
Make sure the antenna
conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting
cords and power cord. This
could cause poor reception.
•
If reception is poor, connect an
outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire to the AM EXT terminal.
(Keep the AM loop antenna
connected.)
Note:
If reception is poor, connect the
outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75
Ω
coaxial
cable (the kind with a round wire
going to an outside antenna),
disconnect the supplied FM wire
antenna.
7/16 in.
(10 mm)
Extend the FM antenna horizontally.

(20 mm)
AM Antenna Connections
AM Loop Antenna
Turn the loop until you have
the best reception.
Snap the tabs on the loop into
the slots of the base to assemble
the AM loop.
Outdoor Single Vinyl-
covered Wire
How to strip the 75 Ω coaxial cable and connect it to the FM
terminals
1. Strip back the outside covering of the 75 Ω coaxial cable to expose the braided
metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).
2. Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as shown in the illustration
above.
3. Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the central wire.
4. Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the
illustration above.

Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
• Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound
• One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human
voices outstanding)
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal
cable (not supplied) to the speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to
the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 10.)
1. Open each terminal.
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be
sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire
first).
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables
firmly in place.
4. Connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to
the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers.
Connecting the front speakers
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use
speakers with the SAME
IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Connecting the rear and center speakers
Connect the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals and the center speaker to
the CENTER SPEAKER terminals.
Notes:
•
When you connect rear
speakers, make sure that both
left and right speakers are
connected; otherwise, no
sound will come out of the rear
speakers.
•
You can register the center
speaker size after you finish its
connection. If you register it,
you do not have to set the
center speaker mode while
setting the surround mode. (If
you do not use a center
speaker, register that
information.) See page 19.

Getting Started
Note:
When connecting a JVC TV:
•
If you use the AV COMPU LINK
remote control system to
operate the TV, connect the
receiver to the Video Input 2
jack on the TV.
•
If you do not use the AV
COMPU LINK remote control
system to operate the TV,
connect the receiver to the
Video Input 1 jack on the TV.

Notes:
•
A small amount of power is
always consumed even in
standby mode. To switch off the
power completely, unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet.
•
If the power cord is unplugged
(or a power failure occurs),
preset settings will be erased in
a few days.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not touch the power cord
with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord
to unplug the receiver. When
unplugging the receiver, always
grasp the plug itself so as not
to damage the cord.

Getting started
Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have
been made.
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button
lights up.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and antenna.
The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a
coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put the two supplied batteries in first. When using the
remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover as illustrated.
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–)
to (–).
3. Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use
two R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTIONS:
Follow these precautions to avoid
leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote
control so they match the
polarity indicated: (+) to (+) and
(–) to (–).
• Use the correct type of batteries.
Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at
the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat
or flame.
